Future Disco Groove Out of my comfort zone again with this little jam. Let me know what you think. BiaB style = Soft Heart MIDI RnB Synth Pop Tempo = 110 I deleted the drum track and replaced it with Drumsynth 500 and its MIDI loops. I modified the drums to better fit the song. Bass = Synthmaster 1 (SM1)=- preset Bas - Haddaway LN Piano - SM1 - preset - listless spaces bt Guitar - Synthmaster - preset - ambient approach Strings = SM1- preset - pad galaxy I played my MIDI keyboard controller for the following: SM1 - preset - power brass (sounds more like gunshots then brass) Lead - Kontakt - Retro machines - preset - dirty saw lead
When you are at the checkout line and they ask if you found everything say "Why, are you hiding stuff?"
64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware

Well done, Mario. It definitely had a disco feel to it. I liked it. As a former dj I would personally have liked the bass and drums to be louder compared to the lead (makes it easier to fill the dance floor) - and the drums might be a bit too busy compared with traditional disco, but you called the track for future disco and you might be right... who knows?  Thanks for sharing! Will

Your song has some really funky space vibes to it, and I think it's clear that you had a lot of funny with working on this particular project! Lots of creativity here. Thanks for sharing!
Cheers,
Ember

Hi, Mario. I liked it, although with "disco" in the title, I thought - like Will - the bass and drums would be a bit more hyped. On the other hand, if you had written "Tangerine Dream 27", I'd be writing "Nailed it!"

You got me with the title, Mario. One of my favorite titles was a song written my Ringo Star and Harry Niisson: How Long Can Disco On. YES, I can dance to this; no, I won't. Love your music, man. Your comfort zone seems much broader than you think. I picture you in your studio like a mad, genius composer. Instruments and pages flying all of the place, then out comes another magical moment of music. Please never tidy up that room.

Cool tune Mario. Had me going through my closet looking for my white suit. Loved your chord progressions. Well done

Rayc - Thanx for listening and commenting on this song.
Rob4580 - Thanx for the very nice comments. Maybe I'll have to purchase a spinning Disco ball for my studio?
Gruverider - Thanx for the stretch comment. With BiaB and MIDI it is relatively easy to do.
Will - Thanx for that suggestion. I'm not very well versed in today's dance music.
Jpt^3 - Thanx so much for commenting on this experiment of mine.
PeterR - Thanx for listening and commenting!
Dave - Thanx for the very nice comments.
Ember - thanx so much for taking the time to listen and commenting.
David - You're right. It does have a more of a Tangerine Dream feel to it.
Marty - I keep trying to expand my music genres and BiaB makes it possible. I have been called mad but never a genius. I take it by the "instruments and pages flying all over the place" that you have been spying on me.
David Snyder - thanx so much for listening and commenting.
Henry - Thanx for taking the time to listen and comment.
Scott - thanx for mentioning my chord progressions. I like to mess around with chords. I had to toss my white suit, it shrunk so much since those disco days!
Greag - Thanx so much. Being in a wedding band for most all of my music career I was able to play a number of genres. But I was never a master of one.

Mario,
Good thumping fun- brought a smile to my morning, even though its a genre I usually run from!
You can dj at discos on many planets.

We don't know enough about old disco to know whether this is future disco or not But we definitely hear a futuristic vibe. This could work well in a sci-fi movie. It conjures up images of objects drifting through space. We always enjoy your experiments and melding of genres! J&B

Mario,
I think it's a very ambitious attempt.
Yes, it is definitely Future Disco Groove.
I would also personally have liked the bass and drums to be louder.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.

Well now!
That was different.
Nice to clear the pallet now and then.
Kinda like watching the Zamboni Machine refinish the ice between periods.
